disgruntled continental passenger
this letter was written by a disgruntled passenger on continental airlines. someone at continental then passed this letter on to a hotel rep in houston who then passed it on to the folks in our meetings department.
now i am happily passing this along to everyone i know and this includes you. this letter really has to be the best thing i have read in a long time.

today is movie day
i finished my work at 9:00am. new work is not coming in -- at all. so i to pass the time i will watch harold and kumar go to white castle. this should get me through the morning.
it is the only movie i have with me so in the afternoon i just might start calculating my hours i spent working on the heat transfer and interpack conferences. yesterday i calculated my hours for the fuel cell conference and for the pvp conference. fuel cell came to 76.5 hours and pvp came in at 126. fuel cell is a small conference with exactly 100 papers. the total amount of time i spent working on the conference is very high. it was fun to go back through my status reports and note that i uploaded a final program three times in one day. if only they would use the tools provided to them my hours wouldn't be so high.
another thing i noticed about these conferences is that they are becoming more time intensive, even the ones that have used the web tool before. combine this with the fact that each the number of conferences using the tool increases every year. while the number of people managing them, chrissy and myself, stay the same.
because of this phil will be getting his promotion managing director of publications. it should be announced today. the only reason he got this is because he has good people working for him and who care about their work. people who took on more responsibility which unfortunately made him look like the cost cutting genius.
the upside of this is that he will most likely be moving to another office on the the other side of the floor. totally out of hair and puts me back into my jeans!

a time to kill
in an article posted on yahoo, new york city is on pace to have the least amount of murders in decades. if we hold pace we could only have 465 murders.
i find it amazing that this great city has turned into a bunch of slackers. we should be at the top of the list. i mean there are so many people in this city that need to -- well -- die.
so come on new york get of your asses and get to work.

happy pride!
today is gay pride in nyc. i didn't go to the parade this year because of a combination of the heat and the fact that none of my other friends were going. although, in these anti-gay bush white house days being out and proud is more important than ever.
this past november we saw all gay marriage ban initiatives pass and more laws being created every day that will limit our visibility in the communities in which we pay our tax dollars. for example, a new law in tampa, fl that "directs the county government to 'abstain from acknowledging, promoting or participating' in gay pride recognition or events." you can read the entire article in the new york times. you can also see from last week's new york time's sunday magazine that the religious right is gearing up to make sure that the lgbt community does not get any equal rights what so ever.
so as gay pride month comes to an end this week take some time to support some of the important gay rights groups. we need to be just as vocal.

chinese food
one of the great things about living in new york city is that you can get everything delivered. you name it, they deliver.
things change when you get to westchester county, just outside of nyc. granted i am able to get my groceries delivered thanks to peapod (tell them i referred you will ya) but when it comes to restaurants that is a different story. most of the pizza places delivers and thankfully frank's is open again so i'm taken care of in that department. one mexican place delivers but it takes a really long to get here and the same can be said for the japanese place that delivers.
port chester as a number of chinese restaurants and surprisingly none of them deliver. disappointing if you have that sudden craving for lo mein. well my friends start craving away and have your needs met. china house has opened and it delivers! woo-hoo.
my first order consisted of beef and broccoli, sweet and sour chicken and two spring roles. and lest i forget to mention -- 10 percent off on deliveries.

i beat my time from last year by 3 minutes and 39 seconds. i did it in one hour flat. i was the only walker this year. i think, dare i say it, that my goal for next year is to actually run it. gulp. that means my ass better get to the gym this week.
the course changed this year and seemed more hilly between mile 1 and 2. last year i think there was only one big hill. this hear a few big hills. it rained a bit at the start and then perhaps for the first half mile. i was soaked from rain and sweat. fun. a little after mile 2 the tree pollen got to me. it was horrible. my eyes started running and it was difficult to see and breathe. given the hills, rain and allergies i am amazed that i beat my time.
the finish area was less chaotic than last year. it was more spread out and had some good freebies besides water and a bananas. so i got a banana, water, a snickers marathon energy bar, and a smoothie. our goody bag had our free t-shirt, a nice pen, a 1 week free membership to nysc (i really should go), and a free gift from new york running company.
afterwards we all went to annie moore's pub by grand central. good beer and burgers and lots of fun hanging out with everyone. the cool thing was being close to grand central so i could catch my train. i thought i had missed the 10:40 and was planning on the 11:10, but woo-hoo i made the 10:40.
today, i'm feeling pretty good. my thighs right below my ass are a little sore but i'll be ok – i've got drugs!
special thanks to cynthia for making our team shirts and to robert's girlfriend, vanessa for being our race security (aka bag watcher). thanks, will for the team photo!!
here's the list of songs that i had on my ipod in a special corporate challenge playlist.

teleconferences
i just got out of a teleconference where i was the only staff person on the call. not only was i the only staff person on the call, i was the only person in the conference room.
i didn't mind be the only staff person on the call but when the other staff people decide not to come it is annoying. instead of being the only person in the conference room, i could have called in from the comforts of my cube surfing the web to pass the time.
this brings up one of my pet peeves.
every monday we have a meeting to go over the details of our largest conference. we book the room for an hour but most often we only need to meet for 15 minutes. just to quickly update everyone on what is going on.
now this is the pet peeve part. why is it so difficult to remember to show up. we meet on the same day and time every week. show the fuck up. i am not your mother. you are an adult so this means i will not call you or send you an email to remind you to show up.
if people did that today i would not have to make up excuses on the telecon.

depending on the car that stops in front of me i also sit in the same seat everyday. it is usually the one in the back where few people sit. i don't like being crowded in. if i get one of those special handicap bathroom cars it i sthe seat by the door that is sideways -- perfect for watching movies in provacy.

batman begins
go see this movie. it is by far the best batman ever! i saw it in imax today and it was incredible.
also did a lot of shopping with my mother today. she bought an ipod shuffle today for someone else but decided to keep it for herself. she is way cool, although i did have to tell the person at the register which one she wanted. she also decided to buy a remote for her other ipod, the third generation one. when the guy at the register said the remote wouldn't work for the shuffle she said, and with authority, "of this is for my other ipod." i am very proud of my mother.

pink lemonade makes it all good
yesterday was pretty stressful due to some reports that needed to be done for a particular conference and the fact the it is almost next to impossible to do a simple query in the conference website.
when my shopping was done i picked up some lunch and got a free pink lemonade with it. it was pre-sweetened to perfection. after i had a few sips my afternoon went by smoothly.
i went back again today and got another pink lemonade. and let me tell you, the magic was still there.
the pink lemonade truly makes it all good!

quiet please
with chrissy out of the office some of my co-workers have shown their concern for my loneliness by non-stop visits to my cube. while i am grateful and even somewhat touched. it gets to the point where enough is enough.
i just can't deal with judy's vast knowledge of everything medical and feline. plus i was very busy yesterday updating paper titles and downloading reports. the headphones had to go on yesterday afternoon.
they are back on this morning because i could not stand to hear mary grace's voice. i think i got them in before the daily tj story began.
oh and there is very little air conditioning in our building today.
"The building is experiencing issues with the air conditioning system. They are currently working to fix this problem.
We are running our supplemental air conditioning systems to help alleviate the heat. We will update you as the problem is adjusted.
We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your cooperation and patience."
they need to send us home.
it would be cooler if mary grace stopped spewing the hot air!

mechanical engineers and deadlines
mechanical engineers have no concept of what a deadline means. here are some examples.
example 1: the abstract of your proposed technical paper was accepted in march. the deadline for submitting you draft paper is at the end of may. you ask for an extension and are told that you can have two weeks. you then ask for an additional two weeks.
example 2: in order for your paper to be published you need to have all of the authors of your technical paper sign the copyright form. you are sent four reminders from the conference website. you are sent at least three more reminders from the copyright folks. your conference organizer also sends you a couple of email messages urging you to send in your copyright. all email messages mention that you will not be published if we do not receive completed forms. we do not get the forms and then change your paper type from technical publication to presentation without publication. it is only at this time that you bother to contact us, begging us to allow you to send in your form.
since mechanical engineers design and build a lot of stuff in our world it amazes that we don’t have more things falling apart. this is also why i am convinced that any project involving a mechanical engineer will not be completed on time.

what i'm loving this week
- coldplay - x&y i had to put my headphones one to listen to this at work because i need to listen to it loud. i love chris martin's voice.
- flip flop weather complain about the humidty all you want. i hate cold weather and having to wear socks. flip flops rule.
- new order - waiting for the sirens' call sounds like vintage new order, especially guilt is a useless emotion.
- stereophonics - language.sex.violence.other? i admit that at first the only song i liked was dakota but this week, i'm loving all of them
- ghetto aim express for those of us who can't access the real aim express thanks to superscout, aim as this old school version that is real bare bones. but at least it works.
i am not loving
- phil read previous post
- my company not a real happy place these days
- tom cruise he should be at the top of the list. i can't stand him.

@#!$##%!! rain!
i forgot my umbrella this morning. all was ok because i was on the train. when we pull into 125th street i notice the major downpour. i thought ok, i'll take the subway to work. when i get to grand central the streets are completely dry. i thought i would save the subway fare and walk like i usually do.
well about half way there the downpour made it to manhattan. thankfully i was near one of those awnings that expands the from the co-op doorway to the street. i was perfectly dry and waiting for the 10 minutes for the rain to stop.
venturing out from under the awning i accidentally step into a giant, and i mean GIANT, river at the curb. feet are soaked, i've become one of those dumb girls with their flip flops on in the rain. the light turns green and i'm still trying to cross the street with my feet sliding in those fucking flip flops.
but thanks to the awning my co-workers are amazed that i am dryer than they are and they had umbrellas.
on a side note phil walked by my cube when he came in this morning. he always looks in my cube. this morning i sort of turned in his direction just to see who it was. as usual he didn't say hello. you know if you can take the time to look in my cube you can show some fucking courtesy and say hello. he is such a dick!

howard dean was correct
sometimes, it can be very discouraging to be gay. i have been out for years and have been fortunate to see many advances in equal rights. but every time i read an article like this one in the ny times i get very sad and really think i should leave the united states. but that would mean the religious right would win and i'mnot about to let that happen.
these conservatives say they don't want the homosexual agenda pushed down their throats, well i don't want their misinterpretations of the bible shoved down mine.
you know what, howard dean was right about the republicans -- they are pretty much a white, christian party. they need to realize that not all americans are christian and could give two shits about their beliefs.

good news
chrissy is home from the hospital. yea! i spoke to her twice today, once when the morphine drip was still doing its thing. needless to say she was very happy. then i spoke with her after it was removed. also chatted on aim when she got home to bayside. geeks cannot give up aim for too long you know.
she had her mother take pictures of the scars and draining tube for zaida. if we're lucky we'll post.
i have missed her being at work, as i always do when she's not here. she is the only one in the world who know exactly what i go through every day and let's not forget our theories and philosophies on how life in general works.
here's one of the pictures that rick took before the surgery.
i'm on the left, chrissy in the middle and zaida is on the right.
on a side note, i was the first person to post a comment on rosie's site today. i love being first!

i love it
when phil leaves early during flex time. now i can be on one of my regular trains. sweet.
one of the the other things i love deeply about phil is that he is clueless. he has no idea that one of the people in his department has had major surgery. i mean everyone was in my cube this morning talking to chrissy on speakerphone and he's sitting in his cube. he thinks she's on vacation. well if you want to get technical she is on a vacation from him but still.

the importance of passing gas
farting is such a taboo in our society but is something so vital for our bodies to function normally.
for example, according to oprah's favorite doc's and author's of YOU: The Owner's Manual: An Insider's Guide to the Body that Will Make You Healthier and Younger you should pass gas 14 times a day.
this release of gas is so important that after most abdominal surgeries you will not be allowed out of the hospital until you pass it.
however, there is a need to show discretion. for example when at a large conference don't walk by a group of people and let out a very loud fart and act as if you were not the culprit even though everyone knows who did it.
also, don't release those quiet stink bombs in closed in air tight spaces. that's just not cool.
oh and lest i forget do not do what the woman sitting next to kim on the subway did -- lift your ass up to let the fart out in someone's direction. now that is fucked up.

it may not be a good thing

summer flex off to a good start
with yesterday's early dismissal due to our lack of water i was able to catch one of my normal trains. just in time too since it started to pour really hard and i didn't bring real shoes or socks for my flip-flopped feet.
but staying to 5:00pm should be too bad anyway, if i play my cards right i'll be on the 5:10 train and still make it home for the 6 o'clock news.
the only problem with the summer hours is making sure that i stretch my work out as much as possible. on most days this won't be a problem but i have feeling today will be one of those days where i'll be glad that my trusty ibook is nearby. so far i only have three tasks to do and if i started them i could finish by 10:00am.
to fill the time i will be filling out my third generation ipod class action claim form. this will allow me to get a free battery replacement or a new ipod. i'm hoping for the latter of course. this would make my mother happy since she is now the owner of the 3g ipod.
then i'll probably start working on the redesign of the blog. it will look more like the rest of staceycooper.com. i've always liked the clean look and feel of that. the redesign will most likely feature more links and other interesting tidbits about me and what i do. as if you actually want more.
as we speak chrissy is in surgery for her gastric bypass. she went under the laproscopic "knife" at 7:30am and should be done around 10:30am. needless to say i am full of nervous energy today.'
results of her surgery will be posted later.

no water and summer flex time
we just discovered that there is no running water in our building. thankfully i did not discover this the hard way like last time. cbc found out when she went to wash her dish. but as always happens i gotta pee. even worse i have been drinking a medium orange/mango coolata from dunkin donuts so it is a super pee that i have to do.
today is the first day of summer flex time. i'm assuming it was approved even though we didn't receive the email saying so. of course with my luck i'll stay late (well only until 5) and then after two weeks pvd will say no flex time for you.
just in!
The problem with the building water supply has been identified and is currently being corrected. We anticipate that it will be more than an hour before water is available on our floors. As a result, we are closing the NY office at 4:15 p.m. this afternoon.

retirement
yesterday was my mother's last day at work. she has officially taken early retirement and has already begun to rub it in that she never has to get up in the morning again. right now i really hate her. its one thing to be happy about the benefits of retirement but to gloat about it is just wrong.
however, this doesn't mean that her working days are over. her no job is to get my gardens in shape. something she has agreed to do. there is the ever-spreading mint that has taken over two and half gardens in the backyard. there is the overgrown grass that has crept into all of the gardens and then there is the task of the weeds in the back garden. hehe we'll see how long she keeps that promise.
as long as she feeds the diabetic cat during the day, i'm cool.
oh! i can't believe i almost forgot the can man has now officially lost the war. mother will make sure that he never gets my cans again. (diabolical laughter can be overheard now.)

frank's pizza
sometime in the early fall of 2004 a fire broke out in my all time favorite pizza place -- frank's. it was like loosing a member of the family.
when i was in high school, my senior year in in 1990, frank's was really a small little pizza place that mainly did take out and had a few of those hard plastic booths. the guys at franks even signed my high school year book. in the mid-90's they expanded and added a real dining room with food other than pizza and calzones.
every friday i would order the pizza until the fire.
well finally after almost nine months frank's has reopened. it took frank much longer than expected but he finally did. last night i ordered the extra large, yes extra large, pizza and a couple of salads for my mother and myself. half of the pizza is still in the fridge but oh man it was most awesome.
my friday night routine has finally returned.

princess bombs
shhh don't tell anyone but i have a cat with a problem. well this particular cat has a couple of problems. the biggie is that she has diabetes. but that is not what i'm talking about today. you see princess also has a problem with her plumbing. you guessed it she is constipated.
this causes her plenty of disturbing side effects including difficulty pushing the poop out and adds to her difficult attitude. there was one time when he had to take her the vet to get cleaned out because she decided that she was going to sleep in the litter box until it came out. for your information, they knock the cat out before giving them the enema. since she was knocked out she is in denial about the procedure. we even had to call the regular pharmacist to get one of her prescriptions filled. i still have the bottle, and yes, it says princess cooper on it.
one of the other side effects to her constipation is what i commonly refer to her as her bombs. after straining so hard to get the shit out the end result is a round, rock solid piece of crap. it is so hard that when it hits the ground it makes a very loud thud. they are so hard that even Julie, the cat shit eating dog, won't go near them.
this is the other thing. because it she does have to work so hard at getting it out it rarely lands in the litter box, which would be handy. but no, sometimes she has to walk a little, push, walk a little more and push some more. this can go on for quite a while. most of the time the bombs, or little land mines if you will, land near the litter box. but sometimes they are placed in very strategic places.
- the hallway – the path out of the bathroom where the litter box is located. it comes out after a slightly more exhilarating walk.
- the living room – after some serious scooting, the bomb becomes dislodged and is left smack dab in the middle of the room.
- the kitchen – on nice days when nothing seems to work, the excitement of seeing the great outdoors causes some sort of internal reaction that makes the bomb drop effortlessly.
with that kind of ability no wonder she has that attitude.

one thing about the people losing their jobs
about a year and half ago when talks at our beloved company began about continuity and change one of the things that came up were cutting employees.
at the time i offered to help create the list of people who should be let go. ok, well i didn't actually say, "hey virgil (our executive director), get rid of these people and not only will you save money but efficiency will increase and moral will improve."
you see as with any downsizing comes the realization that the good people who actually do the work and receive little credit get the axe. not the white men who do nothing.
the funny thing is half people who were on my original list are gone.
larry - check
fred - check
june - check
those i'm still waiting for
pvd
rich
anoha
one can hope for at least noha and rich. tomorrow the higher level people get the word.

the cuts have begun
today approximately 12 people were let go at our company. i have confirmed nine of them and am working on getting the rest. today was the administrative cut day. tomorrow there is supposed to be another 12 in the mid-level range. and possibly 12 more after our summer conference.
all i have to say is if i see hr on my caller id tomorrow, i'm running out of the office!
